Here we are ladies and gentlemen, reaching the midpoint of December! The Christmas loving elves are just getting their second wind, while some of us more Grinch-like counterparts might need a little something to get them in a festive mood again. What better way to celebrate or cheer yourself up than by watching a good old fashioned Christmas movie?…
The title is pretty self-explanatory. Oh, I wanted more run-of-the-mill things for Christmas….books, music…that kind of thing. But I have these deep longings for something else for Christmas….things that very likely won’t come to pass…but are still lots of fun to think about. Thus, I have compiled a list; starting at the most plausible and ending with the impossible.…
NaNoWriMo is officially over and I clocked in at approximately 74,000 words! I’m feeling prêt-ty good right now! I’m also very, very, VERY tired. Anyway, the entire experience was a blast.

My Three Sons: Hands down, this is one of my favorite TV shows. This show holds some of the most honest and heartfelt representations of family that the television world has ever seen.

Coffee, coffee, I love coffee, EVERYBODY LOVES COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE!!!! I think you understand how much I love COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE!
